For anyone looking for fragrance suggestions, give as much information as possible about what you want.

Helpful info could include gender, price range, climate/season, need (work/clubbing/etc.), notes/families you like/dislike, and other perfumes you've tried and liked/disliked.

Thoughts on black orchid as a man frag? I'm tempted to semi blind buy (tried it at a duty free long ago) and from what I remember it was pretty rich and indolic (not a problem for me) and it didn't strike me as particularly feminine. Something like a cross between lacoste white, amen, and some fruit.

If you're not a super manly-man, then hell yea go for it. I think Black Orchid is mostly unisex, with a slight lean towards feminine. I've worn a sample of it a time or two, and I love it. I love Dior Homme, Midnight in Paris, La Nuit de L'Homme; so a lot of my favorites are on the more androgynous side, vs. being super masculine.

>cross between lacoste white
Huh? I don't see where you're getting that from

By the way, the longevity is unreal. Especially the way it sticks to your clothes. I sprayed some on my chest once, went out to do a few things, came back and took my shirt off and hung it back up (I didn't sweat or anything so it was still clean). I didn't wear that shirt again for probably two weeks. I put it back on, and I was like wtf, this shirt smells amazing what fragrance is this? I spent a few minutes looking through my collection trying to figure out what I was smelling and then finally remembered that I had worn Black Orchid two weeks ago and I was still smelling it quite strongly on the shirt. Amazing stuff.

If you enjoy wearing them, then make it an "accessory." If you can't be bothered having multiple bottles for multiple occasions, then get one for just special occasions.

I would advise against having only one fragrance that you wear every day, however. Because most fragrances aren't that versatile, and will seem out of place in certain scenarios. For example, Spicebomb for a day at the beach. Or wearing Bvlgari Aqva for a suit & tie event.

I personally enjoy accessorizing my scent with the occasion, time of day, season, etc. & collecting is fun as long as you're smart and don't get caught up in blind buying. And try to only keep bottles that you truly love. I ended up having quite a few that were just "meh," but I've since become smarter about it and sold off the stuff that I never wore.

The other anon's right. There isn't genuine, interesting discussion about fragrance here i.e. niche houses, vintage hunting, etc just: "w2c from Macy's so I'll drown in pussy guiz thinkin bout la nuit c/n anons?" This general literally attracts the lowest common denominator on /fa/ for some reason but it should be the opposite.

My best assumption is young guys flock to this thread thinking fragrance is the answer to overcome their insecurity around girls (HURR COMPLIMENTS), and they're all shepherded by that fag on YouTube.

Viktor&Rolf Antidote is just a classy jack of all trades fragrance that works very well albeit i dont use it often as its discontinued and I only have one bottle
A*Men Ultra Zest when its hot out and I want something that lasts and is sweet but not cloying also love the creamyness.
Valentino Uomo when I cbf wearing Dior and although I find it sweet and quite unisex it feels different enough to to have an air of sophistication.
Guerlain L'Homme L'Eau Boisee - When I want something a little more mellow than GV or super masculine vetiver scents but still want that well blended fresh vetiver Guerlain does so well.
Chergui by Serge Lutens is my favourite warm me up fragrance for the winter its rich and dense and I can understand that diaper smell, I thankfully don't get it but overall it just seems like a safe niche for the most part that creates comfort for those around.

It's not blind buy material for sure, but it would make a unique choice for an aquatic summer fragrance. The oud / marine combination evokes the feeling of a beach boardwalk or pier. Though I personally enjoy the scent, I don't wear it often because it is potent as fuck.

Is Dior Sauvage really that good? Everyone seems to love it here and reviewers on Youtube love it now. But all the reviewers hated it on release and changed their opinions eventually. I don't get how a majority of people can go from hating a fragrance on release to now loving it. Plus that dislike bar on Fragrantica.

[Anonymous No.11591370]

>>11591328
it was mostly disliked here, too, at release. part of the reason it's liked more now is that this thread is less niche than it used to be, and typical 4chan contrarianism from the popular opinion that it was mediocre.

the BN/Fragrantica crowd hated it because of an irrational reaction of "wtf this isn't like muh eau sauvage!? how dare they use the name of that classic scent for this safe, nondescript crowdpleaser!"

i think the mainstream turned because of (paradoxically) limited, distinctly different options in accessible designer scents for all-weather everyday scents (people were getting tired of L'Homme, Terre d'Hermes, etc.) that you can run to a mall and cop with little thought or trouble. they wanted something new, and everyone turned to it, and word-of-mouth/mob mentality followed so once a few people heard it was actually good, those people followed.

there are are quite few similar smelling scents all with different nuances if you are interested though. Creed Green Irish Tweed, Bond No. 9 Chez Bond, Armaf Tres Nuit, and Rasasi Erga are the most popular ones, but those first two can be very expensive.

It's good because the smell is pleasant and it performs well.

Fragrance snobs activated their autismo mode when it came out because it didn't develop into 3 seperate stages with dozens of notes jumping out. They were offended because Dior wanted a nice mainstream fragrance.

Now people start to appreciate it for what it tries to be.

You might want to look into Reflection Man by Amouage, its supposed to be a more sophisticated/upscale version of Le Male, also where you from bro? Not too often seeing dads wearing Le Male

>>11591328
At first impression you can generalize it as a citrusy/fresh fragrance, people then attributed to that factor as being "mass market, generic, synthetic" bull crap and how they were disappointed that it came from Dior. Also, people claim that it smells like 30 other fresh fragrances, which I don't get.

However, if you actually smell Sauvage for what it is, then you will understand its beauty and how unique it truly is.

Either that or you could generalize both reactions as people jumping on and off band wagons.

Never worn fragrance

male/warm climate/casual

hit me with something like: "it signals a commitment to simplicity and thoughtfulness. It seeks reason and timelessness; it says that we should care about things which last, and not chop and change our enthusiasms according to the whims of public opinion. The [fragrance] argues that minimalism is a key concern in a crowded and busy world: it means efficiency without loss of grace"

It's my only JHaG perfume, but I like it enough that I have a backup bottle ready in case it's ever discontinued. 100 ml testers are only $50 on Beautyspin.

These are the vetiver-focused fragrances that I own full bottles of, listed from favorite to least favorite :
Sel de Vetiver
Etro Vetiver
Guerlain Vetiver
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver
Lalique Encre Noire / EN Sport
Guerlain Vetiver Extreme
Molecule 03 / vetiveryl acetate
Prada Infusion de Vetiver

GV and TFGV are both great frags which showcase Vetiver nicely. I find that GV skews more soapy in scent with its white florals, and I like how its vetiver is dirtied up a bit by the accompanying tobacco note. The citrus in TFGV is less sweet than GV's, and with no white florals the scent is more dry overall. It's a lovely, grassy grapefruit Vetiver, and comparatively smooth. Definitely a worthy cop and high quality fragrance. The EDP lasts a full work day for me.

Everything above EN on my list is a love, and my only dislike is the Prada. If you don't know whether you enjoy vetiver, go with GV. It's cheap and fantastic and it's the ubiquitous fragrance in the category. I'd cop Etro Vetiver next for a dirty and natural take on the grass, unadulterated by citrus and flowers. Then Sel de Vetiver if you can afford it, which is incredible. Salty and earthy and floral, almost like a vetiver liqueur.

Whats a good fragrance to get for my girlfriend? Is it even ok to buy a perfume as a gift, because she might not like it (even if i get a deal so she can return it and get another one)? Luckily we have pretty similar noses, she likes my Le Male (yea i know its mall tier (gaul-tier heheh)) and my old spice whitewater deodorant but these are scents she probably likes on a man, idk. She usually smells a little fruity but thats mostly because she hasnt yet found a good scent. I remember some kenzo stuff smelled great, my mother had it but wouldnt like her to smell like my mother... so i'm looking for something not every girl wears but not that rare that i cant find in a regular perfumerie store.

My progression was as follows:
-Aventus (one of my first frags, huge regret, sold it after a couple weeks)
-Noble Leather
-Noir de Noir (my go-to for quite a while)

With a few randoms in between (plum japonais for eg.) Overall I fit with the feminine fragrances.

as a whole, all the frags are well blended and last fairly long on the skin with moderate projection

most of the womens frags are yankee candle tier or smell like a knick knack shop at the mall. they've also all been incredibly cloying, even the few i thought were ok.

Cio Cio San is the only womens fragrance i've liked yet. Very fruity and floral, and the litchi works well with the other notes.

i've mostly worn the mens so far..
invasion barbare (the flacon) is a dope fougere that smells super barbershop at first but as it wears longer the cardamom becomes more prominent. it's super safe and super pleasant which is why i got it to wear to work

Ambre Topkapi is my other favorite. the musk disappears after the drydown and it turns in to this light woody fresh slightly fruity scent on my skin. it isnt really anything special and i certainly wont buy a full flacon, but i can see myself finishing this sample first

chypre palatin is neat but i think im going to wait til colder weather to form an opinion on it. same with cuir garamante.

Overall my impression of the house is that none of its frags were made for people under the age of 40.

Is there anything that smells like Dark Temptation by Axe? I love the smell of the body wash..

They have an EDT but I bet the longevity is shit

not exactly dark, but i posted above about Past | Presence by Roads and it's a lovely scent for fall, the base note brings up tonka bean and i'm super excited to break it out when it gets chillier

So I'm right, got it. I can pinpoint every post you make, that's how generic they are. Put some more thought into your recommendations if you're going to try to dish them out. If not, then don't.

>>11607508
I would say to try Fat Electrician by Etat Libre d`Orange. The vetiver has that "dark" scent with the marron glace, vanilla, and whipped cream that adds the sweetness. Vetiver Oriental by Serge Lutens is in a similar category, vetiver with some chocolate behind it and less sweet amber, iris, and labdanum.
From my experience, when people say "dark" they mean earthy fragrances with heavy woods and dirt notes, Earth essentially. Encre Noir is a popular dark fragrance for example.

And out come the memes and /b/ tier posts. I just wanted to let people know that you don't put much thought into your recommendations and just blurt out whatever comes into your mind first. I just don't want that guy to drop money on or even blind buy Tuscan Leather because you replied with "Tuscan Leather". Don't take it personally.

It's just that no one should recommend $170-$200 dollar fragrances when people ask for a recommendation, whether its Tom Ford or Montale. It doesn't make anyone look like an expert, but more like a parrot.

i agreed with you until you made it clear your problem is with the price point and not the quality of the fragrance

What I'm saying is that they don't go hand-in-hand, and you don't *only* have to recommend really expensive stuff. I'm sure there is something at a lower price point that will suit him well, and he may not have access to a place where he can try TF and Montale in the first place. Not everyone can fo ro Neiman Marcus either.

Hope that makes sense

[Anonymous No.11608364]

>>11608356
Yet you recommended SL and ELDO both way more expensive than Montale.
You are an idiot.

This for dark. But EN isn't one bit sweet. Maybe try some on the Dior Homme line, The original and intense are more on the sweet side, while the parfum would be "darker".

It was to let him know what a "dark" fragrance is like. My thought was that he meant something else when he mentioned he wanted a dark scent.

Wear your frags proudly, and don't be shy. As long as you don't wear a dozen sprays of Aventus , you should be surprised by the number of favorable reactions you receive from people.

What's are some good notes to wear for the chilly winters in New York City? I usually wear a lot of citrus and jasmine but I feel like this doesn't make much sense when it's cold.

When I started to use frags I thought the same way. It actually does make sense, use warm, spicy frags when it's cold and use fresh ones when it's hot so if people smell it they remind themselves of "better weather".

[Anonymous No.11609764]

Recommend me some frags for winter. Daytime and/or nighttime

Here's some stuff that doesn't cut it and why:
DHI: I love it. But it's not something I'd wear. Too deliciously sweet for me. Would love it on a woman
La Nuit: I just don't get it. It smells unremarkable. And I don't mean unremarkable as in pleasant but boring, it literally smells entirely neutral to me, except when it gets cloying
Boss bottled: Classic. I like it. But I think it's a tad too fresh. More of a spring/fall scent. Also I'd like something that hasn't been a safe default choice for men for 20 years
Interlude Man: I actually really like this smell. But it's not something I'd wear

[Anonymous No.11609777]

Masculines are fucking boring to me now. Wore a sample of Aventus today and even though I can tell it's well-blended, I can't stand it. Is it the oakmoss? idk I'd rather smell like something nostalgic and comforting than project a show-off chad smell. I mean if you want to smell "manly" Aventus is the best way to do it probably, but why settle for that? It's just uninteresting.

Even though I know I'll probably get flamed I'm wondering if anyone else feels similar.

He could always buy a decant before buying a bottle, that way there's not much harm in blind buying since if he decides its not for him he only loses out on several bucks. Even better is if he goes and tries it on in a store. Closest store to me that has Tuscan Leather was 70 miles away so I blind bought a decant and I have to say, its what I expected and much more. I see why it's such an iconic fragrance and I'm actually looking to buy a bigger bottle of it

When I think of masculine I get smoky heavy leather fragrances with tobacco. Not Aventus lol

[Anonymous No.11611687]

>>11611596
that's a rather narrow preconception. what do you think of woody fragrances then?

and as for Aventus, all the birch and moss give a strong masculine bent, countering the sweetness, and personally, in general, I don't think it could work on a woman
